Program Fee*: Swimmers who are not Westgate Cabana Club members will be assessed a Program Fee for the privilege of using the pool. This provides insurance coverage for swimmers in addition to absorbing a portion of the cost for pool maintenance, chemicals, supplies, and other associated costs. These fees do not allow the use of the pool at any time other than swim team preseason practice. Join the Westgate Cabana Club and avoid the program fee..
